California Attorney General Confronts Offshore Drilling

The NY Times has an op-ed by the California Attorney General Xavier Becerra “Florida Isn’t the Only State That Will Be Hurt by Offshore Drilling” that discusses the Trump Administration’s decision to open up off shore drilling for oil and the arbitrary exemption given to Florida

One of the most brazen attacks on the rule of law by the Trump administration — and we’ve seen many — came last week after the Interior Department opened up 90 percent of America’s offshore waters to drilling for oil and gas, and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke arbitrarily gave Florida a free pass.
